Hi,
thanks for your message.
Do you have the last version of the plugin and do your website meet the minimal requirements?
We can’t help you with the fact that you don’t receive an email : we do not send any email. CF7 does.For the plugin, have you tried a simpler form of 2 or 3 fields? Can you send screenshots of your mapping?
Thanks.

WP connectWe will need as well the destination type fields in Airtable (Number, text, etc…)
Hey sorry for the late reply.
I tested it now with only two fields, and it still doesnt work. The problem is, when airtable plugin is activated, i cant press the submit button anymore. It just doesn’t work. I dont get any errors in the console or problems shown. Nothing happens.
The Table is https://airtable.com/appxcUtEbFkFftLxh/tblklLDrYhLBPVJ37/viwet3RwRpX8nL0e9?blocks=hideHi,
Thanks for the table.
The error reported by our plugin is hidden by your theme :
.wpcf7-response-output { display: none !important; }
That’s why it feels like you can’t press the submit button.
There is in fact a problem with the Airtable API.
Could you please try with a simpler table (e.g. without complex fields like the record id based on a formula) ?Could you please also send us by email a screenshot of your field mapping?
Many thanks.

WP connectI made a simple 2 Input form (At the bottom)
https://www.sparen-fuer-kinder.com/umschichtung/A new Table was made too
https://www.sparen-fuer-kinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/1.pngAnd was connected with the form
https://www.sparen-fuer-kinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2.pngStill an error
The field name is “E-mail” on Airtable and “Email” in the admin.
Thanks to the new Airtable API, the next add-on update will provide a select-list of your Airtable fields rather than a text field. It will be easier to avoid this kind of problem!

WP connectDoes the field name and Airtable name need to be identical?
Yes, otherwise, it can’t be linked.
It still does not work.
The form field and the Airtable field must be identical. If you enter Email in the Airtable field name column, the name of your field on the Airtable side must also be Email (Be careful the name must be identical).
But you should not enter what is indicated in Contact Form 7 field otherwise the plugin will not work (for example: your-name)With the next version of the plugin you will soon be able to choose your fields in a select list.
I got an update, but it still doesnt work. Even the simple 3 field Form gives me an Error. What can cause the problem?
While we try to avoid asking for WordPress dashboard access
You are still asking for it. Which is against forum guidelines.
While I know you have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you not ask users for admin or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers, they’re your open source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can put you and them at high risk.
If they are paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system. But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums.Thankfully are other ways to get information you need:
- Ask the user to install the Health Check plugin and get the data that way.
- Ask for a link to the http://pastebin.com/ or https://gist.github.com log of the user’s web server error log.
- Ask the user to create and post a link to their
phpinfo();
output. - Walk the user through enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.
- Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again (the Health Check plugin can do this without impacting any site vistors).
- Ask the user for the step-by-step directions on how they can reproduce the problem.
You get the idea.
We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions. Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline.
When you help users here and in public, you also help the next person with the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers.Hi @fierevere , sorry about that, no problem at all, I totally understand.
@agenturgoldweiss, can you please send us a screenshot of the mapping and the configuration of your form?
Airtable fields and Forms fields names have to be identical (case sensitive).
You have to put the right Airtable API key, table and App ID as well.If you can follow this tutorial as well, it can help : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLAzA5LqXX8
I just tested your form and it works, I saw the entry in the Airtable view.
Is that OK for you @agenturgoldweiss ?
We assume that it works fine now as the test are working so we close the topic.
